History of HETAC
HETAC was formed in July 1981 after a
survey of California home economics teachers indicated a need for an
organization that would focus on issues concerning secondary and adult CFS and
HERO programs in California.
HETAC elects officers to serve a 2-year
term, has quarterly executive board meetings, assists with many coordinated
professional development opportunties for California Home Economics Careers and
Technology Teachers. HETAC has sponsored several pieces of legislature that have
been key to keeping a strong professional network of staff for our subject area.
HETAC is proud to sponsor Teacher of the Year, Dream Dare and Do, FHA-HERO HETAC
Scholarship and FHA-HERO Honor Chapters.
Food Service
Operations and Restaurants are the #1 retailer in California, which represents
6% of all jobs statewide and 900,000 employees, and are the fourth largest
source of sales taxes statewide. Restaurant Management is one of the top three
fastest growing careers in California.
